Buckeye Bites
Valentine’s Day is rapidly approaching! Love it or hate it, it’s unavoidable. One of my favorite quotes that I found on Twitter was, “Valentine’s Day needs to get the hell out of my Target.” Maybe I’m just bitter that Christmas…
7 Layer Cookies
This recipe has been on my to-bake list for, no joke, TWO YEARS. It was one of those recipes that I longed to make.. I knew I would love the results.. but I was intimidated. These cookies (sidenote: why does…
Zoo Animal Cake II
I made this cake for Brady’s 2nd birthday! The space between “Happy Birthday” and “Brady” was left to make room for a “2” candle. I made an almost-identical cake a few years ago, so instead of re-typing directions, check it…

Keep Calm and Carry On Cupcakes
Some friends of mine in Madison are moving to England this month! Their goodbye party was in December and I was asked to make British-themed desserts. I made these cupcakes, as well as a Union Jack cake (which I’ll post…
Hippo Birthday Cake
Davian’s birthday was back in November (I’m soooo late in posting his cake!) and his mom said that he loved animals, specifically hippopotamuses. Here are the mish-mesh of instructions on how I created this cake. I made a 9×13″ cake…
